Although based in sunny Fort Lauderdale, the foursome of the Mad Rockets channel the grit of Motor City in their dirt-under-the-fingernails brand of rock 'n' roll. It's easy to tell where the band's musical heart lies just by the players' pseudonyms: frontman Jinx, guitarist/vocalist Sonic Jim, bassist Todd Damour, and drummer Brian Damage. Tattooed to the gills and favoring a Johnny-Thunders-circa-Chinese-Rocks fashion sense, these guys clearly took a page from the MC5/Faces/Dead Boys/Dictators book and doused it with some more whiskey and general Florida brain damage. That's a good thing, folks. Sharing the bill are Broward live faves the Freakin Hott, who also mine a similar, grimy, glitter-and-bubblegum vein. They, however, feature some added sugar and spice in the form of frontwoman/tambourine gal Maggie. This newspaper tagged them Best Local Rock Band back in 2005, and that superlative still sticks today.
